The Montana Tin Mines.

OF the Montana Tin Mines situated on
Swcetwatcr creek, about thirty miles from
here, mention Of which has frequently been
made by this paper, Saturdays Salt Lake
1'7"""' has an interesting report from
which We take the following: 1.-The tin
lodges crop out in great masses, rising
twenty or thirty feet above the surface,
standing nearly vertical and about three or
tour feet wide o" the BELMONT, which is the
north location. Several openings have
been made on this, one being tunnel 100
feet long to crosscu the vein at depth
OF 100 feet. South Of the Belmont is the
Sheridan, covering the gulch, which is
quite deep and has steep sides. The center
OF this guch has the appearance of water
having washed out great chasm through
mass Of pink and reddish brown and vel.
low ores, exposing immense quantities,
which contains more or less tin as shown
by assays. This middle claim is at least
valuable as dumping ground in operating
the mines ON each side. Next south is the
Globe claim, which presents the most in.
teresting features Of ALL There is an i'm
mense wall OF country rock-porphyry
and granite-rising over 100 feet above the
great mass Of slide rock extending down to
the bottom of the gulch. AS this wall is
stained with yellow and red brown it has
always been prominent land mark OF the
country, and it presents an unusual ap-
rearance. Major Peck declining to pierce
that great wall, began /, tunnel in tn. slide
rock, and had 4 hard time to go through il
because of its running" hut through in.
domitabe energy and perseverance he got
1t t'mbered up, and reaching solid ground
has pushed his tunnel in between 900 and
400 feet to tap the ledge, which has big
plow out on the top Of the bluff $50 feet
above. The tunnel has been in ore much
OF the time after getting in $50 feet. As
there are thousands of tons Of ore on the
surface alone, and it is found in place be.
low, it is pretty sure that the space between
is also filled with ore making the amount

 Sitting down, he stretches his limbs and proceeds to partake of his solitary meal, which having finished. he takes out his tobacco sack and puts his hand in his pocket for his pipe. Slowly he withdraws his hand, while look of uncertainty crosses his face. He feels in the other pocket. Doubt gives way to terror.

MR. oRRELEY's SENSE or HU-
 MOR
,loel nenton. in CN,smnnolitan.

Mir. Grcclcy's humor was of pe- culiar sort, but it was allied to genius, So many anecdotes have been told oi him in illustration of this that one can hardly expect to produce any now that some one has not repeated, Those who tried to joke with him to his disadvantage wcrc generally worstcd. whether they did 1t orally or through tho press, Ono evening an associate cditor of the Tribune ac- costci him AS he came into his desk with some such question as this;
 "Didn't you know, Mir. Greeley. that you made dreadiul hlunder In one of your statistical editorials this merning2"
 "No; how was itl" said Mir. Grce- ley,
 Why, you said something about 'Ieidsieck' 0nd champagne Don't you know Ueidsieck x champagneg"
 Well" said Mir. Grceley quietly "l am tho only editor of this paper that ceuid make that mistake"
 On another occasion Il person who wished to have little fan at the OK pensc -of-his- consistency. said In Il group where Mir. Greeley was stand ing:
 "Mr. Greeley and I, gentlemen, are old friends. We have drank great deal of brandy and water together" :"
 "Ncs." said Mir, Greeley, "that Is true enough iou fFtnk he brdaoiy and drank the water"
 Tobacco was his especial dislike :; and friend of mine, knowing this well, while handing around box oi cigars to Il few who wcn present with Mir Grreley. took especial pains to hand him the box with great ostcn- tation.
 "No," said Mir. Greeley, II thank you. haven't got sn low down as that yet only drink and swear"

Wouldn't Discharge Him.
Now York Tribune

General ------- is an old time south- erncr, very vain about his personal ap- pearance and very proud of his cigars, which are about as good as can be bought, for the general has plenty of money The general has a negro valet who has grown old in his employ and feels that his long years of faithful service ought 10 cntitle him to some privileges which would not bc granted to younger servitor. The old negro flattcrs himself that he bears strong personal resemblance to his master, and among his colored acquaintanccs is known as "The Gin'el," Of course, General - does not recognize this alleged resemblance and would, with out hesitation, shoot the man who dared insinuate, in his presence, that the rcinotcst resemblance existed. Yet among themselves the friends of Gen eral --- do say that he and his old valet do, somehow. look alike.
 Dre day General gave his valet one of his old dressing gowns. Soon thereafter General ----- began to miss some of his high priced cigars. He suspected the old negro of taking the cigars, and to make his temptation lighter gave him n box of cheap cigars. together with strong hint of his suspicious. Still the good cigars continued to disappear At last the general lost all patience, and plainly charged the old negro with the theft.
 You old black rascal :" he thun- dcred. "l know you've stolen those cigars, and you had better tell me the truth, or I'll have you shot, hang me if don't"
 The darkcy was too scared to speak for moment, but he wasn't long without something to say for himself, and as he went on in his defense grew quite jubilant in manner, feeling as- -ured that he would be acquitted. This is what he said:
 "Now, Gin'l, axes you to let me splain. 'Scuse me, Gin'l, please clar fo' de Lord ain't stole dem sec- gars. ain't stuie muffin since jiiied de church, morn six mont ago. Gin'l, you members dat old dressin'- gown dat you gib me. Well, when goes home an puts on dat drcssin'- gown an' puts bof my feet on de mAntel, les like see you do, my ole 'oman she say, I 'clar, Willyum Henry, you does look mi'ty like de Ginr.' An l tells you, Gin'l, does feel pow'ful like you, but somehow ain't jes like you. wants som'pin. keeps thinkin' an thinkin' wot 1t mout be. Den my ole oman, sine say agin, I 'clar, Willyum Henry, ef you jest had one ob de Gin'rs fine see-gars you'd look jcs like him. Well, Gin'l, when gets one ob dem fine see-gars l knows looks jes like you, 'cus l feels like you."
 "But, you old black reprobate," broke in the general, "why didn't you smoke one of the cigars l gave you, and leave mine alone!"
 The old negro drew himself up proudly, and looked responsibility at his master while he replied:
 "Gin', Pse knowed you nigh onto fifty yeers. an I'se never kBowed you to smoke a poo see-gar. doesn't want ter disgrace yer, Ginl. Howse l gwine to look like you wid poo see-gar in my mouf!"
 The general never answered the question.

Now, the charmer of Chicago Is quite ecstatic miss; Loves the drama, everything that's gay Pertaining unto this. But 1t takes a bag of ducats And lot of patience, boy, Before you snare this charmer With a wedding rings employ. Alasi the girl of Quakertown Wants blue blood in extent, For all her charming graces And her ardor yet in pent.
